Chapter 27: The Test
The flight of a monk and the light skill of a warrior are not the same thing.
Light power still relies on the bouncing force to temporarily get rid of the gravitational pull of the earth, and the height of the flight depends on the strength of the bouncing, which is usually very short, and it is a parabolic motion.
No matter how amazing the light work is, it still belongs to the category that physics can explain.
But the monk's flight was different.
When the cultivation is reached, you can use mana to get rid of the gravitational pull of the earth and achieve the effect of void stagnation, which is out of the category of physics and can only be described as a miracle.
Zhong Yuan was suspended in the air, the wind blew the corners of his pants around, and he said calmly: "Only by learning the Tao can you truly change your fate, make yourself stronger, and take your fate into your own hands." β
Zhao Hao asked very cooperatively: "So, where can I learn Taoism?"
Zhong Yuan glanced down at him and said nothing with a smile.
In this world, if you want to learn Taoism, you can only find him.
Zhao Hao suddenly blessed his soul and stammered: "Zhong ...... Mr. Chung...... Do you think I can learn Taoism?"
"You have good qualifications and can learn. β
Zhong Yuan landed on the ground and gave a positive answer.
Zhao Hao's heartbeat quickened, and he said, "That's ...... Can you teach me then?"
"Teach you?" Zhong Yuan glanced at him and said, "The law should not be passed on lightly - those who do not respect the teacher will not be transmitted, those who do not respect the Tao will not be transmitted, and those who are not firm in their minds will not be transmitted." Do you think you can do that?"
"I ......" Zhao Hao hesitated for a moment and said, "I can do it." β
It doesn't matter if he can do it or not, make a promise first.
Zhong Yuan smiled and asked, "What does it mean to be firm-minded?"
Zhao Hao's mouth opened wide, and he wondered: "Is this a Chinese exam? But I haven't studied this question!"
"The mind of learning the Tao needs to be as solid as a rock - wind and rain cannot be changed, poverty and lowliness cannot be moved, immortal through the ages, unchanged through thousands of eons, with heaven and earth, eternal time, it is said to be firm. β
After saying this, Zhong Yuan glanced at Zhao Hao lightly and said, "Can you do it?"
"I ......" Zhao Hao was stunned for a moment, but still said stubbornly: "Mr. Zhong, can you say it in another sentence?"
"Forehead ......"
Zhong Yuan was stunned for a moment, and said very disappointedly: "It means that you, the heart of learning the Tao, must be very firm, no matter what kind of situation you face, you can't give up - you can never give up." β
He can remember that this is what Wu Bai said when he was apprenticed.
"Oh," Zhao Hao understood, and replied affirmatively: "It can be done." β
It's still the same sentence - whether you can do it or not, say yes first.
"Then respect the teacher, can you do it?"
Originally, when Wu Bai was apprenticed, there was a passage about respecting the teacher, but Zhong Yuan thought about it, it was not human words, so he didn't say it.
Anyway, everyone knows what is going on with respecting teachers.
"It can be done!" Zhao Hao said loudly.
"Well," Zhong Yuan nodded and said, "When you can make me feel your respect for your teacher, I will accept you as an apprentice and pass on your supreme avenue." β
With that, he walked to the front.
Zhao Hao was overjoyed: "This is on the inspection list, right?" quickly caught up and said, "Mr. Zhong...... Oh no, Master, I'll let you see my performance!"
Zhong Yuan said lightly: "Okay, then I'll watch." β
Although he was determined to train Zhao Hao to be his spokesperson for the interests of the earth, he couldn't easily pass on the exercises.
He is not only responsible for his own family, but also for the entire Peace and Security Company, the entire Daxia system, and even the entire nation and country.
This is not an easy decision.
After this, Zhao Hao became more attentive to Zhong Yuan, a master at a time, and no longer the distant title of "Mr. Zhong".
Sometimes when Gong Shengnan and Meng Ti are mentioned, he replaces them with "Shi Niang" or "Little Shi Niang".
In terms of action, he was even more proficient in serving tea and water, which made Zhong Yuan quite satisfied.
After a few days, Zhong Yuan felt that he had to test Zhao Hao's other aspects.
At breakfast that day, Zhong Yuan suddenly said: "Zhao Hao, although you are not a Chinese nationality now, you must not forget that your roots are in Huaxia, and you will always be a Chinese." β
"I understand this," Zhao Hao said solemnly, "My grandfather often taught us that we are born as Chinese people and died as Chinese ghosts." I don't regret entering China in this life, I will still plant flowers in the next life, in my heart, the interests of Huaxia will always be above all else!"
"Well," Zhong Yuan nodded approvingly, "that's true." Taoism has no nationality, but monks have nationality. Don't become a monk and forget your roots. β
With Zhong Yuan's approval, Zhao Hao was very excited.
"Let me ask you one more question," Zhong Yuan said, "If one day, your master and I stand on the opposite side of the country, what should you do?"
"This ......"
Zhao Hao hesitated a little.
This question is too torturous to the conscience.
Or rather, it doesn't torture the conscience, but only tests the wisdom.
Should we be on the side of the country, or should we be on the side of the Master?
Or to put it more plainly β should I make myself look respectful or patriotic?
It's a huge test!
Zhao Hao hesitated for a long time before he said, "I'...... I don't think Master will be that kind of person, Master is on the opposite side of the country, then it must be the country's mistake and needs to be corrected, I believe in Master. β
"That's over. Zhong Yuan made a decision in his heart.
However, he glanced in the direction of the capital, lowered his face, and said, "What are you talking about? Can Master be bigger than the country? Let me tell you, the country is always the most important, and the interests of the country are always above everything elseβhigher than you, higher than me, and higher than anyone else!
The last sentence "Got it" was said in a loud voice.
Zhao Hao was shocked, and hurriedly bowed his head and said, "Got it." β
"If you are still young and have time to correct it, I will not pursue it. β
Zhong Yuan sighed softly, and then said: "You have been in Huaxia for so long, do you know the core values of Huaxia in those twenty-four words?"
Zhao Hao said: "I know this, I have to recite it every morning and evening." β
"Morning and evening are not enough, you have to be early, noon and late. Zhong Yuan said, "Then you can recite it to me now." β
"Uh...... This is difficult......" Zhao Hao said with a difficult face.
"What's the difficulty?" Zhong Yuan said unhappily, "Isn't it memorized every day?"
Zhao Hao said in a low voice: "There are a few words that are forbidden, and the webpage cannot display ......"
Zhong Yuan said: "Then according to the old rules, use the asterisk key instead." β
Zhao Hao had no choice but to open his mouth and say: "Prosperity, asterisk key, civilization, harmony, asterisk key, equality, justice, asterisk key, patriotism, dedication, integrity, friendliness, ......"
